a normal bills on the foreign trips in two thousand and sixteen paid for by none other than european taxpayers we spoke to the author of the study. harvey you're watching international. children are already being recognized thanks to our special campaign to find relatives of orphans in war torn iraq we've been receiving calls and e-mails from people who think that they know the children film i don't often buy our crew now on the screen you can see the e-mail address where you can contact us if you have any information. now these russian speaking children that i'm talking about had reportedly been taken to the country by parents c went on to join islamic state and after we filmed them in baghdad we posted the footage on our social media pages it was shared also by the head of russia's chechen

republic ramzan kadyrov as a result it didn't take long to get a very healthy response and you can see just some of the comments that have been posted online now one woman called how the chart contacted us from douglas than our crew went there to speak to her. was i. was. or how did john thinks that the boy in that video is her nephew arlie she contacted us and centers the following photo i guess the of reports from dagestan where he's trying to find relatives of other children. a number of families have contacted on claiming that among the children we filmed that that baghdad orphanage they

recognize their loved ones their relatives among them is one woman who claims that little. nephew she sent a picture and while it isn't definitive proof the resemblance is certainly striking she says that parents his mother and his father packed up one day and left claiming that they were going to moscow for work and taking the family they took the kids only to call later and say that they were in istanbul in turkey that was a while ago after that they are presumed to have crossed the border either into syria or into iraq and joined isis. he were many many years.

later and these mother called the family from iraq she said that her husband father had been killed in fighting and that she was now alone with the children she also had a newborn to take care of she sent a picture you can see the isis flag in the top right corner nobody has heard from her since that was ten months ago but her relatives say hope dies last. let me give you do you want. here it actually. is you know. it's.

nice he they are fresh. this is. true. there are potentially hundreds of children with russian origins in iraq's orphanages the children of isis fighters living together with the children of isis victims life for them there isn't going to be easy with that sort of stigma which is why our t. has decided to help we're meeting with a number of families here in dagestan relatives who claim to have recognized the children in those orphanages in order to reunite as many of these orphans with their families as possible. now as well as that three of the children could soon be reunited with their families if everything goes well we can show you a picture of fulton more rounds on the right he's just next to the boy from the video we got that picture from his aunt and his stories strikingly similar to our

lease fathers are both sets of being killed in the last time so turns mother contacted his family was about ten months ago and these two girls my world turned out to be sisters how did jar and fatima are we were given the picture from one of their distant relatives who were told their mother and father fled to turkey along with the children around two years ago reportedly to join i saw their relatives then lost contact with the family and we are still searching for more children who became orphans in iraq and trying to find their relatives back home if you have any information you think might be of use please contact us at the e-mail that we can show you on our screens. hopefully coming up in a moment. u.s.

weapons are locked and loaded don't trump cities latest warning to north korea this is up to the president refused to back down on his threat to bring fire and fury to pyongyang amid global calls for deescalation correspondent jacqueline berger reports from washington. on his comments of threatening fire and fury against north korea were called into question trump hit back saying maybe they in fact weren't tough enough break lee the people that would question that statement was too tough maybe it wasn't tough enough wants to. make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. like the world just never see now when asked what could be tougher than fire and fury gave the sinister response of you'll see leaving everyone frightened that physical action could be the next step in this war of words trump also one p.r. nyang that they be sorry if they even considered attacking the u.s.

or any of its allies if. north korea does anything in terms of even thinking about attack. of anybody that we love what we represent do or allies or us they can be very very nervous i'll tell you what they should be very dubious because things will happen to them like they never thought possible north korea better get their act together where they're going to be in trouble like few days should ever have been in trouble now such statements as these coming from the president have been slammed by a number of american senators who see them as reckless causing significantly more harm than good president trump is not helping the situation with he's been best to comments. we need to be firm and deliberate with north korea but reckless rhetoric is not a strategy to keep america safe i think it was just the wrong message and elevates the situation rather than showing the international community that there is hope

for diplomatic solution unfortunately it is unlikely that those words will affect trump's rhetoric however meaning the possibility of a democratic resolution is slipping away seemingly pushing the world closer and closer to the edge of war north korea in turn slummed trumps coleman says being numb since it went on to say that no serious dialogue is possible with the us president described as being the guy bereft of reason to believe pyongyang claimed that it was preparing plans to file for me sols near the u.s. pacific. we spoke to a former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. he says this but trump on the same level as north korea's leader i don't see the plus in these threats were we getting something in return from these president's threats i don't see it i've never seen that tension so high in the korean peninsula i'm extremely concerned i hope the president's advisors rein him in general kelly you know the new chief of staff he's got to tell the president you can't

conduct foreign policy the way you're doing with words with fiery words exchanges stooping to the level of camp joe moon in the north koreans who generate this rhetoric almost every day but this rhetoric has gotten a lot more intense also from the north korean side. and russia's foreign minister has just said that the risk of the u.s. north korea tensions actually turning into a wall is high auntie's correspondent into trying to hustle. sergey lavrov has said that nothing can be decided through war and that in the case of north korea a potential military conflict can be enormously dangerous you should. think that the risks of very high especially considering the rich troops there are a direct threat of force with us six to difference matus once again stating to be a huge number of casualties i think when a foot is brewing the first step back from the danger learned should be taken by

the stronger and small to. the russian foreign minister here was referring to the statements by the u.s. secretary of defense just to remind you we heard mr mattis warning pyongyang against the actions that could quote lead to the destruction of its people so what was a part of a warning get he still said these words out loud at the struction of a nation so things are getting asked serious as they can ever get now in the meantime some of america's main allies in europe the likes of the u.k. and germany they're calling on the american president to deescalate the tensions in agel merkel once again stressed the urgent importance of a diplomatic solution in this conflict. between the escalation in breath rick certainly doesn't solve the problem i don't see the solution to the conflict right now and i don't think the escalation of wrath very different approach so we may

read into donald trump's tweets as many times as we want but we cannot still say for sure what is definitely on his mind the question is right now which voices will affect his decision making most and perhaps doubt well we'll find out very very soon. china meanwhile is condemned far inferior remarks spacing warned the u.s. president against playing with fire in north korea said that any accidental spark could trigger a conflict or smaller chinese state media is reporting that the country will protect the north korean regime if the u.s. decides to strike first and the possibility of military confrontation is causing splits among america's allies in the pacific australia says it will stand shoulder to shoulder with washington but new zealand says that it is not ready to support any aggressive military action we stand shoulder to shoulder with the united states

the anzus treaty means that if america has attacked we will come to their right if a stranger is attacked the americans will come to our right we are joined at the hip the american alliance is the bedrock of our national security committing to an aggressive response now while encouraging all involved to avoid a school a should is not a position we want to take. from webster university in geneva says that a full scale conflict between washington and pyongyang is unlikely some aggression is possible i think that it would be better in everybody's interests to deescalate everything and but as we've seen before trump sometimes the american president trump tries to skeer or people that are listening to him through his rhetoric but sometimes that's an unfortunate way to function in the international system i do think we have a possibility that there could be violence i mean all out war i think would be

foolish on any side and as you've heard from the chinese side that they might even become involved in something like that and i don't think anybody wants that right now but i do think is that there is the potential of not full scale war but aggression. well tom's turn of phrase when it comes to north korea hasn't gone unnoticed on social media with twitter users getting the impression that the president's becoming more like a character from a popular t.v. series morgan explains. when donald trump threaten north korea with fire and fury everyone online apparently had the same thought game of thrones. they will be met with five years of. life the world has never seen. now arguably the only other world leader whose tirade sound as much like a fantasy villains is kim jong un so we decided to go out and give americans on the street

a little quiz we'll give them the quote and they tell us was it trumped was it kim jong un or was it game of thrones the days are gone forever when our enemies could blackmail us game with their own game of thrones. game of thrones out. donald trump game of thrones that's kim jong un ok all right. i tried you know as many people as i can you never know which one you'll need. non-neutral also donald trump donald trump donald trump game of thrones you're correct that is game of the yes ok all right our military will be given the resources that it's brave warriors richly deserve. control trueman game of thrones. donald trump you're right that's donald trump i will not allow the mistakes of the recent decades to define the course of our future. then john i'm game of thrones donald trump donald trump i'm just going to go with donald trump again that's

correct and you're right you're right we can keep any cesspool of evils in the earth including them within our striking range game of thrones came for its. game with their own skit can john correct your enemies steals and murders your children . kim jong un donald trump be. game of thrones game of thrones coming true it's game of thrones. private jets love a show tells all not just the reserve the rich and famous things days newly released details covering just the first two months of two thousand and sixteen show e.u. commission is racked up hefty bills on foreign jaunts with the tabs as usual left to be picked up by e.u. taxpayers.

visit. by jan first visits to your country our meetings today encounter with foreign minister question good discussions on a range of issues a wide range of issues and also talked a lot. of european commission i'm presiding over is not a group of technocrats but it's composed of politicians this is not a commission that would promote the virtues of a foolish blind policy. but it's not only about money. even if. that's it's. it doesn't play a minor role. of the look serious lifestyles of you officials who are only exposed

after campaign is that waste a three year battle for the release of travel expense records we spoke to the spanish transparency ngo access info which first obtained the documents they say they've only just scratched the surface. hundred twenty requests made freedom of information access to documents requests was actually for the whole year of twenty sixteen however the commission decided unilaterally to only release information at this point for january and february twenty sixth when they felt that it was an advantage to burden and it was disproportionate to release information for the whole year now that doesn't seem to make sense given that they also have this information passed on to the auditor's into the parliament so if the data is already collected and is made available to those. institutions then why can't it be made public more generally. and he spokes person has defended the travel expenses but critics say that sometimes it's difficult to see where there's value for money

. the the european commission we and unlike the national government don't own any airplanes and do not have the flexibility to therefore it's just our own plane that's why we have to charter. planes whenever there is no other outlets ability for that in when a commercial flight would not be viable because of then the countering of the clinic insurance or because of security reasons often really people go on these expensive trips and then they just come out with fairly innocuous statements at the end of the day really achieve much less the company benefits from face to face meetings or so you know it's good that there is a focus on those problems in armenia and azerbaijan but really there hasn't been much progress for a long time now given they are spending taxpayers' money they ought to try and get those places as cheaply as possible within reason and if you look at for example it's a mr young because troops have arrived there are several direct flights from brussels

to rome every single day on normal essential their lives so why couldn't they have gone on those normal slice instead of booking this private jet. thanks the german journalist has found herself making the news as opposed to reporting on it and this is after she claimed in t.v. that german media is biased towards the government and its coverage of the refugee crisis claudia zimmerman said the journalists are instructed to report in a pro-government way when it comes to the migrant crisis that revelation was made back in january of two thousand and sixteen in an interview about the cologne sex attacks she gave that to a dutch radio station later she was asked to apologize over highlighting negative sides of anglo-american welcoming policy our sister channel r.t. deutsch spoke exclusively to the journalists that the center of the controversy. journalists tend to support chancellor merkel's refugee policy throughout the media not just at the channel i work for some journalists including me try to pitch more

critical stories but they were not approved that's why i spoke out stories that failed to welcome or support this policy are being blocked honestly at first i did not understand the situation the whole situation that occurred because of this as a channel stated there was a lot of damage in a public field i cooperated and did everything possible to minimize the damage to did w d r t.v. channel i'm officially not fired they just don't approve my pitches my stories haven't changed yet but it suddenly turned out there i'm not trustworthy anymore a report published in june of this year claimed media outlets are closing their eyes to the concerns and fears of the german population with regard to the country's migration policy claudia zimmerman claims that there are topics journalists do want to cover but is simply not allowed to. i would

wish to many more colleagues there to do more critical coverage the pressure comes from the top down i know from some colleagues that there are certain topics which you would like to cover but these topics were not approved because you were too critical because they don't fit to format of to program i think it's significant it would be significant for a journalist in germany. wildfires in italy have told their way through thousands of so far this year this is partly due to a record breaking heat wave because our correspondent kate partridge explains there are more sinister reasons as well. as temperatures soar across southern europe wildfires have become common particularly in italy. but the sheer number of forest fires has raised suspicions and police have discovered that many fires are less acts of god than acts of some very desperate men and the cause is themselves are eyebrow raising in sicily fifteen volunteer

policemen have been arrested for either starting or reporting fires so they could earn an extra ten euros an hour for putting them out or suspicions were raised when the number of fires went up from the usually volunteer number of forty to one hundred twenty the alleged ringleader a man known as hddvd is even under house arrest as he apparently constant his practice of driving to an area and sparking up more police indeed say he is one twisted firestarter he said he wanted to set of a bomb to take the money available if the emergency vehicles needed to be repaired another scandal like the fires has also spread to rome where two hundred hectares of a nature reserve have gone up in flames and so apparently has the reputation of a former t.v. director who local media citing the investigation claim is part of a racket who started the fires to intimidate a group of transvestite prostitutes working in the air. area to make them pay their

protection money while he was found with a flyer in one hand and a lighter in the other one could perhaps say the evidence against him is incendiary . on the american wrist spoken exclusively to the musician pink floyd co-founder roger waters one of the topics discussed was the current frenzy over fake news is think preview of the interview which you can watch in full on r t america's youtube channel in fact that is where we're living now where propaganda is more important than fact it's far more a book and that value is a huge news story about this whole thing about fake news is that people have understood. the truth facts philosophy knowledge is tree education none of these things for him poor in order to retain a position of power you need to be really good propaganda you need to be really good at selling big lives often and loud and the last thing that you want in the

mainstream major is anybody shining actual real light on a three. remember you can keep across what is happening in the news that website dot com as well as on facebook and twitter and various of the social media or you can do the back with more news in home. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the us a full on. the only show i go out of my way to fox you know what it is that really packs the. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank take. me seriously send us an email.

isis militants have just shown patrols. enemy troops have been spotted on the pulse of the rhythm. here in the only two groups of militants have joined forces. those groups leaders have to clear their determination so independent islamic state in the philippines have you. been up to two months of fun. keeps finding hidden weapons and explosives. not being up operations in areas where civilians are used to live a daily occurrence. not well meaning walk with the bundle. noisy.

greetings and salutations well it appears the going to war with north korea is once again the most popular labor of political icecream this week in the halls of power here in washington d.c. after north korea rattled its saber our own thoughtful commander in chief rattled his own spewing out the no oft quoted fire into fury. and as i said they will be met with fire fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never see before. sounds like the donald's been loving this season of game of thrones

just like the rest of us but tragically george r.r. martin dialogue doesn't quite translate well in the real world international politics in response to trump spire and viri north korea general can rock a genome the head of the country's strategic forces declared sound of dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and then only absolute force can work on him. is it me or d. d. d. to feel like your country's in a little bit of trouble when kim jong people are saying your president is bereft of reason howard's but while the schoolyard kind of tipper tat back and forth continues between north korea in the united states that hasn't stopped the war hawks in the military industrial complex and corporate news media from salivating over the chance for bombs to start dropping once again for example check out ali velshi is war porn on m.s.n. b c a smith missiles which can hit combat units in.
